Note: These schools prioritize local residents. You must be registered (Anmeldung) in Berlin before applying.
SESB schools are government-funded and completely free. However, catchment area registration is a strict requirement. Families who are not yet registered in Berlin will not be considered for a place, regardless of language qualifications.
A legendary international state school. The catch: Enrollment is extremely complex. It's the "St. Julian's" of the state system; everyone wants in.
